"For reasons I don't understand Euro Engineers can't picture a wood shop where you use a broom."
It's b/c in Europe they don't allow you to use a broom!
OK not exactly, but their machinery, (unlike ours), is designed to be used with dust collection. The regulations concerning workers health in many European countries are much stricter than anything OSHA has, and it shows in how their modern equipment is designed. In actuality we are behind the curve and it shows in the poorly designed retrofits manufacturers are adding to machines to facilitated dust collection.
If you really want to see something neat take a look at their some of the Euro dust collectors. Felder sells 2 or 3 models in the US and IIRC the filtered air is close to if not HEPA standards. Of course it will cost you if you want to breathe that nice clean air
